Dyson’s

Super Sonic Hair Dryer


Pushing a Premium Product in the Marketi

Despite being a premium product, the Dyson’s Super Sonic Hair Dryer launched in November 2016
was able to generate value and capture media attention on the same scale as a product belonging to the
mass segment. The following lessons can be taken from the product marketing strategy of Dyson for
this particular product.

Creating Value
Dyson's hair dryer is priced at 399$ which is higher than its other competitors in the premium segment
of dryers. This is significantly higher than the other upper end products in the hair dryer market. This
Pricing strategy helps create a Forced perception of higher value within the customers. Dyson targets
only to the premium segment customer and such high price bars the entry of mass consumer. But the
people who have apt purchasing power make it a niche product for the consumers which consider it
Value for Money. Hence, Dyson creates it impact statement only with the consideration to the
Premium Segment.

Getting Media Exposure


During the launch Dyson focuses more on communicating the patents generated by the product
development, how it is different and carves out a niche. High-End Media Channels such as CNN,
Mashable, Engadget, Gizmodo and more highly value such innovations and thus spearhead the
marketing campaign of the brand. Other than these Dyson also focuses on building relationships with
influencers and journalists for many months prior to launching.

Points of Disparity
Dyson spends 67 million dollars spent on research and development. It is the only Hair Dryer in the
market which contains a Micro-Processor. The Aesthetic appeal of the dryer is very different than the
other products in the market.

Dyson differentiates its product by emphasizing its benefits, design, price and customer service. It also
boasts a very detailed Product design and ergonomics.

Leveraging the Existing Brand Image


Dyson is primarily an Upscale Vacuum Cleaner Manufacturer and has created value for customers since
years. Hence, the existing customers trust the brand vision and technology of the company. This also
enables them to push high priced products into the market. The after sale service and the useful life
period of dyson products is significantly high. And this brand image helps the company to explore new
areas in the market.
